I used Duplicolor High Temp Chevy Orange on mine and it has held up nicely. The key is make sure that the surface is absolutely 100% clean in order to get good adhesion. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html

Ya, good brand. Any AutoZone or similar store will have it. It can handle a lot of heat.
